20 Weird But Hilarious Excuses People Have Used To Get Out Of Doing Something

Let's face it. We all make excuses to get out of something every once and a while. Sometimes when you are on the spot and have to think of something fast, those excuses might come out a bit odd or just flat out unbelievable. I decided to do some research and see what are some of the most bazaar excuses people have used. I came across pages and pages of excuses and some of them I thought were absolutely crazy and others I felt like I should write down for later. These are some of the most craziest/hilarious excuses people have used that I have found.

1. "I promised to help Ashley clean the toilet at the same time. She doesn't like doing it alone; she gets nervous that she will fall in! Some kind of toilet phobia(a weird name I can't remember for some reason...)"

2. "I do not usually go out on days that end with the letters "day". Sorry, personal preference."

3. "My hamster needs a good washing! He was playing with the pigs in the mud today. Stupid hamster!"

4. "I have to go to the post office to see if I am still wanted."

5. "I made an appointment with my eyebrow specialist."

6. "Bob was late for school today because his little brother replaced the milk in their cereal to Crazy Glue and Bob’s mouth stuck together and we needed to melt the glue."

7. “I have a bit of a slight problem. I got the end of a Q-tip stuck in my ear and have to go to the ER to get it removed.”

8. "Sorry, I can't get in, I'm stuck under the bed."

9. "I poked myself in the eye while combing my hair."

10. "I tripped over my dog and was knocked unconscious."

11. "I forgot to come back to work after lunch."

12. "I had to ship my grandmother's bones to India."

13. "My cat has the hiccups."

14. "I had to chase my cows back into the field."

15. "A Vaseline truck crashed on the highway and cars were sliding all over the place."

16. "I’m stuck in the blood pressure machine at the grocery store."

17. "My feet and legs fell asleep when I was sitting in the bathroom and when I stood up I broke my ankle."

18. "I just put a casserole in the oven."

19. "I put my uniform in the microwave to dry it and it caught on fire."

20. "My false teeth flew out of the window while I was driving on the highway."

The last excuse on this list was my favorite. After researching and finding all of these, I think I may use some of them once or twice (maybe). But to keep it real, you should just be honest with the person. It won't be as stressful then trying to figure out an excuse like the ones in the list and sound crazy. I know you all have made an excuse for something at least once in your life. Tell me what the worst excuse you have ever given was! Mine was in this list..darn comb.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
